WORKFLOW

file management backup entire directory using desktops

set project folder

Revit files File Link Manager

select view and import preset

model objects are editable meshes only change materials in Max “bind” model to edit geometry in Max (severs link)

reloading model

materials Multi/sub-object naming scheme by layers updated Revit geometry, but not materials

SketchUp files import – no sun – double-sided materials

grouping groups and components become separate editable meshes “group” in Max for convenience

materials multi/sub-object Arch & Design standard Often with Bitmaps wired in (saved in scene assets folder) “default” is usually inside of objects

mr Physical Sky dim in material properties or, replace with an image- based material
